A Joke on Bernhardt.

Apropos of the theatre, Mme., Bern hardt was made the victim of a practical joke on the night of her last performance at the Star theatre. She is much. addicted to the practice known among actors as "guying," and philosophic enough to be not averse to joke upon herself if it is funny. In the second act of "Theodora'' the empress visits the amphitheatre in which she was once star. In the vaults where the performers and the wild beasts are housed she renews old acquaintances. especially with brutes The audience sees the lions cage, with the straw sticking out between the bars, but the lion himself is left to the imagination On this oc- casion when Bernhardt went up to the cage to caress the phantom king of beasts she almost shrieked with laughter. Nest ling comfortably in the straw was poodle puppy, which blinked and whimpered at her as she apostrophized it in heroic strain. The affair put her in such good hrrmor that the performance passed of without quarrel with any one-a rarity, indeed, as performances with Mime. Bern hardt go.-Alfred Tumble in New York Times.

nisinfectinr Rooms.


 Drs. Guttman and Merke, of the city hospital Moabit, in Berlin, have made an investigation. as to the relative value of various methods of dislfecting inhabited rooms. Themain peinjS kept in view in the inquiry were tlES satisfactory method should destroy the vitality of bacteria, should not injure the house or furniture, should not he dangerous to the health of the person in the house or of the person applying it, should involve the least possible labor in it's use and be as cheap as possible. The bacillus autrax was taken as the test organism and was dried in silk flores and scattered through the room, on the rugs, etc. Disinfection was attempted by rubbing the floors, ceilings and walls with disinfectant fluids and by spraying the same on the rugs, etc. The solutions eXperimented with were n per cent solution of carbolic acid, and solutions of bichloride of mercury of various strengths. Their conclusion is that solution of bichloride of mercury, to 1000, used as wash and a spray, is the most certain, the cheapest and in all respects the best for disinfecting inhabited rooms

sfSome one told me that smile would go 8 long way toward helping mo become q successful saleswonlan," said girl to whom store life was-yet new, land have smiled. and smiled until I don't think l could look solemn at the funeral of my best friend. I actually grin from morn ing till night, and think I will have to give my mouth rest if don't sell dol lars worth the rest of the day. l came here with the determination of being good natured and pleasant to every one, no matter how cranky customer might have, but really, it is harder work than 1 thought. Still, I am sure good nature pays, and I don't know of any position that requires more patience than that of a saleswoman.
 "A rather stupid girl with sweet, even disposition is moro apt to succeed than a brighter girl who is quick tempered. ] mean to earn S30 a week some day, if l wear out my mouth smiling. try to be so pleasant to my customers that they won't let any one else wait on them, but ask me to take them to other counters. Then when get good trade my salary will be raised and will receive consider able extra as percentage. Yes, bright, good natured girl is pretty apt to have her salary increased in time, and need not be afraid to begin on $3 week if she has home and will not be required to pay board while she is gaining her experience. In this store $7 and $8 week is the average salary. Philadelphia Press.

The Polk Homestead,

The Polk homestead is large, roomy, two story brick fronting on Union and Vine streets, with ample grounds about it, modestly and tastefully ornamented with shrubbery and flowers. On the fronts rise immense wooden columns, ap- bearing like stone at little distance, sup porting verandas which spring out from the caves. The windows are all old fashioned sG iA aTery-t y-thing-olsc;adout the house. Within are broad halls and stair ways, and great square rooms filled with antique and rich furniture. Nearly all the surrounding houses are of modern architecture, and in striking contrast with the old mansion, every nook and corner and angle of which are full of the foot prints of Father Time.
 In the middle of the quadrangulGr slope that lies next Nine street is the tomb of the tenth president, of plain granite, with square shaft rising few feet, the whole capped with the same material, resting upon four plain granite pillars. The canopy, on its front, next the street, bears the simple inscriptions: "James K. Polk, tenth president of the United States; born November 2, 1795; died June 15, 1S49.'
 On the shaft above the crypt is chiseled an epitome of his public career, from which we learn that he was 8 member ol the Tennessee legislature, governor of tht state, member of congress, chairman o1 its most important committees, speaker of the house of representatives, and presi dent of the United States Washington Cor.

Mistakes Which are Sometimes Made.
 Portraits of the Politicians.
 stAn art editor has to be live man, said s. H. Horgan, of the American Press Association. ''Frequently mistakes are made l remember a fraud that was per petrated upon The Graphic. It was at the time that Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief, had a great deal of newspaper promi- hence. An army officer came into The Graphic one morning with picture which he claimed was good likeness of the great chief. He wanted $50 for it AS the paper was anxious to publish the picture he was paid his price and went his way. A beautiful front page cut was made from it at considerable expense, and it was proposed to bring it out within few days. Luckily, another army officer well known to the editor called at the office the day prior to its publication He had just arrived from the west, where he had passed many years in Indian warfare. When the likeness was shown to him he pronounced it in unqualified terms an inn posture. He recognized the picture as that of an old Indian who was a hanger on at Fort Laramie. Of course the pict- ure was never published, and The Graphic was more careful in the future.
 Many mistakes of this kind have oc- cured, however. At one time ikenesses of two statesmen were mixed up. The picture of Palmer, of Michigan, was pub ished for that of Palmer, of Illinois, aIr& went the rounds of the press throughout the country. Another time Lady Lons- dale's portrait was published for that of the Princess Beatrice It was some time before the error was discovered. The bus mess of hunting upportraits of prominent 0l,or onfea f,o to resort to many ingenious schemes at times. When we have borrowed photo graph to copy we must be careful not to return it until after we have published it, otherwise some other newspaper might secure it and anticipate us. I remember the time we had in getting John Kelly's likeness. 1 went to him personally and asked him for his photograph for publica- tion. He did not seem displeased with the idea, but laughingly turned me off with the remark, I guess the public have seen enough of me in caricature.' After a long search his photograph was found at last in little place on the Bowery.
 Artists who are sent to sketch the l prominent characters at state or national conventions have little trouble. Most men in such bodies come prepared for the newspaper men with written interviews and photographs in their trunks. If they come into prominence they are ready for | the emergency. In case man becomes | prominent at convention who is not so prepared we telegraph to the place where he resides for his likeness. When 0 new cabinet is to be appointed we procure be forehand the portraits of every conceiva- ble candidate for the offices, so as to be ready when the appointments are actually made.
